title: Karyotypic changes identified by HaeIII restriction endonuclease banding in a patient with M2 acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia.
abstract: A patient with acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia, FAB type M2, showed a complex karyotype involving chromosomes 1 and 11. The breakpoints could not be exactly identified by GTG and QFQ banding. A subsequent analysis with Alul and HaeIII restriction enzyme staining allowed the detection of a translocation of the heterochromatic region of chromosome 1 to 11q21.
